Ambrosden, St Mary the Virgin
The parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Ambrosden is situated at the end of Church Walk in the west of this sizable village. There is room to park a few cars in Church Walk but I parked on Merton Road and walked about 100 yards along Church Walk.
As you enter the churchyard from Church Walk you are very close to the church and it seems quite cramped. However, the churchyard extends a long way on the north side of the church although the church itself is obscured from view by trees.

My first visit was on Thursday 18th April 2013 as the second tower
[1st,
3rd,
4th]
of the 282nd Mid-week Outing
of the
Four Shires Guild.
I started by ringing up bell #5 in what was described as a nice rise
. Later I ran bell #3 for a touch of Grandsire Triples. Nice bells to ring and pleasant sounding too.
The Bells
The tower has a ring of 8 bells with a tenor weighing 20-1-6 in E. Dove's Guide includes details of the bells at St Mary the Virgin and more information is provided by the Oxford Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers.
